Aaudetat - in the chase for most impromptu application process, I did my GMAT and all three applications within the space of 25 days.

I actually took the GMAT two days before R2 submission for the first school.

I would not recommend this approach to anyone, but it worked alright-ish.

3underscore - That's insane.

Aaudetat - I agree, everyone should have at least one stretch school. Volatility works both ways.

VOTE VOTE VOTE! =)

Just to have it here too, 3 for sure in R1, 1 other one maybe in R1, and if R1 interview notices look dismal, 1 or 2 in R2... total 3-5 schools...

I'm shooting for 2 R1 and 2 R2. To be honest I cant find 6+ schools that I want to go to. I've got one stretch 2 that I feel I have a shot at and one safety. Plus I've already spent a lot of money just to visit once school. I cant afford the time or money to really put together a worth while application at another 3 or 4 schools.

I really only have 6 schools I would even consider going to, and 2 of them are strong maybes... so it'll be hard for me to apply to more than 4...

4 R1, 1 RD (Columbia), and 1 R2/maybe (HBS).

The last two are assuming I don't run out of steam.

now I know why all the books say R1 is generally for over-achievers... :) Based on this, almost no one is applying to their dream schools in R2...

I am :( but that's because I can't visit until right at or after their R1 deadlines. Oh well.

I'm putting together apps for 3 dream schools in R1, one semi-attainable...R2 is going to consist of one reach and one/two others
